Skirting the Anthro

As we Anthropologie lovers know, the retailer knows how to make a memorable dress. Unfortunately we can't all afford everything we love and - worse yet - not everything works on us. So it is good to know that other stores are taking notice and making versions of some of our favorite Anthro dresses in very reminescent skirt form! So if you've missed out on some pieces or if they sadly didn't work for you, maybe a skirt will do?

Suffice it to say that I may have already bit on one of these gorgeous inspired-by pieces and am seriously eyeballing one or two more ...

Lastly, if you have your eye on the Anthro Apothecary skirt, the exact skirt is currently on sale at Dillard's as the Parameter printed skirt for more than 50% off the current Anthro retail price!

(Now that I'm sufficiently warmed up in my Google kung-fu, if there are other Anthro pieces that you'd like me to find doppelgängers for, just leave let me know and I'll put on my virtual Inspector Clouseau hat! though maybe Magnum PI is the better option because he's more contemporary - haha. Nothing wrong with rolling around Hawaii in a Ferrari 308 with the targa top down, wind blowing through my hair and Tom Selleck's mustache - sweeeeet.)

Oh, I want the lace skirt from ASOS! It is so pretty and I could see it working with so many things! I have actually been thinking about investing in more separates so that I can extend my wardrobe a little, and I think this one would be a perfect addition. :)

Also, great eye on the Parameter skirt. I still have a $100 gift card to Dillard's from Christmas burning a whole in my wallet. I might have to check this out!

I love the river island lace skirt! I sadly missed out on the spinning lace dress (and have been stalking the anthro site for a popback). The skirt may even be a better, more versatile option. Great post!

Ooh, I love skirt versions of dresses (because skirts are slliiightly superior to dresses in my book), and you highlighted some great matches! I think I might just need that River Island lace skirt! Anyway, great pos Lisa :)

I love that first skirt from UO, but I'm always hesitant to order online because I'm not sure of sizing (and I don't want to pay for shipping). I'd go look for it in the store, but like Forever 21, that store stresses me out!

Lisa you've got some fab comparisons here! I love Anthro, but the sales have to call my name in most cases. The red skirt up top and that little lace number are on my list and I'd totally get the alternatives. Thanks girl!
